You are quite right. Worthless Educational System Dictionary is one of the best places to get sorry excuses for attempted simplistic spellings of even easier words. I salute you in your Anonymous Cowardly posting ways.
But I doubt that NVidia or 3DFX are going to let someone emulate thier hardware. VMWare installs video drivers as a VMWare video card (last time I installed it) and uses SB16 compatiable drivers for sound cards. Networking is also handled by a "standard" network driver. I'm sure that they could figure out how to drive DirectX on these drivers, but the performance would prolly not be what you're trying to get with DirectX.
If the games are that important, dual boot for them, but let's let VMWare do it's job updating to support business apps better/faster.
I understand that the Tivo has it's own channel guide service for it, but what I don't understand is why these machines don't support (or mention support) the VCR+ feature that is in TVGuide and other such channel listing publications. Then we don't have to worry about the subscription costs and can use one "standard" (loose on that standard) for all of these consumer video recording products?
Well, this is good for the OS, and gives office users access to a stable os, but if MS Office comes out on Linux, we can kiss any of the other office apps like WordPerfect and Star Office goodby. Honestly, how many people will choose to use something that is "compatible", when the can use the real thing?
Like no-one is going to pirate these apps, and I bet MS wouldn't care untill they have the market, and then they bring the hammer down. (Rings true of netscape, does it not?)
This is news, that's for sure. We are still to find out if it's good or bad.
I disagree with your comment on how the base of Dell's business is the individual consumer. I spec for a college, and we shop dell. If we asked for 40 workstations with Linux on them, they'd hop alot quicker than one consumer asking for linux on a laptop. They have to offer the products where there's a demand for them, and the consumer market, like it or not, is still dominated by Windows PCs for game playing.
Sure it does, I've done it loads of times with Slackware NFS installs on computers that don't have cd-roms. Saves me the trouble of having to burn the cd and then nfs mount it.
You do look like Steve, but don't wear black turtle neck shirts and you'll be fine
Using M17 and N4.73 side by side comparision

Mozilla M17 Is Out
·
· Score: 1
Just downloaded the 8.x meg version of M17, and surfing the slashdot site with the two browsers side by side, I can say without a doubt that M17 renders faster, has much better font display, and doesn't shoot my CPU upto 100% when using the scroll mouse (n4.73 does) Side by side with M14 (compiled from source) M17 performs better and renders some a few sites better that M14 butchered. I'm curious when the source will be release (if it isn't already) so that we can compile our own.
FYI: It was an artical in "Times" mag. Did a school report on it back then in college.

Not to troll or anything, but this was on Slashdot quite a long time ago. I thought it was pretty funny when I saw it on The Screen Savers (ZDTV) last night that they were doing a re-run of Slashdot. (They did the I-Opener hack two or so weeks ago.) But to see this back on Slashdot today is quite an eye opener. Slashdot getting it's news from ZDTV!
I don't understand your point, SuSE does the "release every 6 months" dance just the same as RedHat, and I've seen SuSE for sale in Best Buy long before I saw RedHat there.
Oh, I'm sure they would love to shutdown the mp3 trading on IRC, but how would they do it? Bots that say they have songs but really just have links to/dev/zero? IRC is nice and distributed, you can't really get rid of the mp3 trading on it. Napster made the big mistake of having the only "official" database server. And OpenNap servers are just as easy to target for take down by the music industry goons as they get the IPs for them. I do think if people are serious about doing something about this, then power up freenet nodes where ever you can. It's one of the only ways that we will be able to get around this stupid ruling.

I like the thought of whenever someone in an MS newsgroup says anything about linux, there's an ad.
That's not the case if Judge Jackson asks for appeals to be fast tracked to the Supreme Court because of the very fact that the appeals will last forever if left to federal appeals court. IF that happens, you have one appeal and it's done. If not, M$ could (and will) just grind the legal system to a halt in this case.
Be opened the source code to the Desktop Interface around the same time that they release FreeBe 5. The press release is right here. I personally hope someone is doing work on this for linux, I really like the way Be handles.

Hummm I think it's time to go back :)

Just print to it as a unix print server without and queue
that's strange, I'm dualhead on a G400 vanilla and I have 1600x1200x16 on one and 1280x1024x16 on another.
hummm, on my machine, pinstripe installed both but uses X4.0.1. Check your /var/log/X* log and see what the version it reports is. It should be X4.

Can BSDi use the Linux binary emulation wizardry and play existing Linux games from Loki?

disapointing is an understatement!

Well, if they added movies and pictures like Scour Exchange, might those services stay up? That sure would be interesting.

Couldn't they just buy this info from all the script kiddies on IRC? Just as for thier databases of IP numbers and offer cash...
naw... they'll include it as an upgrade that you have to pay $99.00 USD
problem is that linux doesn't run on the O2 R6k that I have sitting around... this is great news for me...
